Checklist of Pottery Types

This checklist is based on Harold
S. Colton's Check List of Southwestern Pottery Types, published
in 1965. Its purpose was to provide a breakdown of the many ancient types
and to organize them into wares and series. More recent scholarship has
necessitated a few adjustments, but for the most part Colton's work has
remained the standard for archaeologists. Our version provides direct access
to all of the individual ancient southwestern pottery types represented
in the Logan Museum collections. One can see at a glance how our site brings
detail and color to the original Check List.
